History A HERITAGE STEEPED IN HISTORY

In the early-to-mid-1800s, Bryan County’s prosperous rice plantations were the “breadbasket” off the South, but that prosperity changed to poverty virtually overnight as a result of the war. Heavily dependent on slaves to work the rice fields, the plantations were at risk yet insulated from most of the effects of war by the ever-resilient walls of Ft. McAllister. This earthwork fortification had been invincible through seven attacks by Union forces, including assaults by their ironclads.

or centuries, the Guale people inhabited the shores of the great Ogeechee River, enjoying the plentiful seafood and temperate climate – but the Spanish exploration of the late 1500s was the beginning of massive change. By 1792, the English had established themselves in the area, and Bryan County was born.

At dusk on December 13, 1864, the full wrath of the war hit Bryan County. General Sherman knew the key to Savannah was taking Ft. McAllister, so he moved 4,500 of his troops south of Savannah and destroyed all but a few of Bryan County’s plantations. Watching from the roof of a rice mill across the Ogeechee River, Sherman witnessed the fall of the once invincible Ft. McAllister. The general’s devastating March to the Sea ended when he entered Savannah without protest on Christmas Eve.

HISTORY

www.RHBCchamber.org

Although Sherman left Savannah virtually untouched, Bryan County was not so lucky. The economic livelihood and residents’ way of life were destroyed. The years of 1865-1925 were times of trouble and desperation with malaria and moonshine dominating people’s lives and livelihoods. Almost 80 percent of the county’s residents lived in poverty. What was needed was an economic shot in the arm, and that shot came when Henry and Clara Ford visited Ways Station in 1925 while looking for a winter retreat. Henry and Clara built their winter estate on Sterling Bluff, the site of a former plantation with an astounding view of the great Ogeechee River. Over the next 22 years, the Fords set out to erase the poverty-stricken Ways Station. While his estate was being built, Ford constructed a sawmill, drained the swamps and subsidized healthcare. He started the first kindergarten in Bryan County and began building schools that helped set the standard in education throughout Georgia. Eventually, Ford bought 85,000 acres, including Ft. McAllister, saving the old fort from demise. (After his death, International Paper acquired Ford’s holdings and donated Ft. McAllister to the state.) Ford built a church, commissary, trade school, community house and homes for his 600 employees. Collaborating with his friends, Thomas Edison and Harvey Firestone, they formed the Edison Botanic Society and conducted laboratory experiments. Ford Farms transformed

d www.RHBCchamber.org H I S T O R Y

former rice fields into fields that produced fine iceberg lettuce and grew 365 varieties of soybeans to test their properties for extracting rubber. All of this inspired many local youth to seek higher education and better paying jobs. In 1941, Ford and the local citizenry renamed Ways Station to Richmond Hill. While Richmond Hill enjoyed Ford’s largesse, Pembroke became the center of population due to its prominence as a railroad center and major shipping point for the lumber and turpentine produced in North Bryan County. Within a couple decades, the railroads and Pembroke would lose much of their importance as automobile and trucking companies provided point-to-point service in the latter half of the 20th century. The U.S. Army struck a simultaneous blow in 1941 by building Ft. Stewart in the center of Bryan County, literally splitting the county in two. Today, although the heyday of the railroad is gone, Pembroke is the archetypical Southern small town, sustained by a renewed vigor from the economic lifeblood flowing down I-16 and a populace seeking a quieter and friendlier lifestyle. Bryan County’s multi-layered story reflects its citizens’ pride, grace and valor, just like that of her namesake during our country’s struggle for independence – The Honorable Jonathan Bryan, founding father and patriot from Georgia.

Education THE PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE

across Georgia through the PINES network. Both libraries have public computers with Internet access and free Wi-Fi. Bryan County Library computers can link anyone to GALILEO, Georgia’s “virtual library” that offers access to numerous archival and full-text publications.

Bryan County is also home to numerous faith-based and secular private schools. The public primary and elementary schools serve students in kindergarten through fifth grade. The middle schools serve sixth through eighth grades, and offer extracurricular programs, including band and chorus. The comprehensive academic program at Bryan County High School and Richmond Hill High School provides vocational and college-preparatory instruction to students in grades 9-12. Parents often choose to move to Bryan County communities because of the school system test scores, but they stay and form lasting impressions of our schools based on the positive daily interactions among students, parents and school staff. Resources are provided to support exemplary academic and extracurricular programs, but there is a consistent focus throughout the curriculum on values such as patriotism, honesty and other components of character education. Schools in Bryan County have implemented a number of recognition and appreciation activities to demonstrate gratitude to military parents for their service to both community and country. The Bryan County School System outpaced its neighbors and the state as a whole in SAT scores. The school system also boasts a high school graduation rate of over 80%, compared to the state average of 69%.

Housing W HOME SWEET HOME

hether you are interested in a spacious family home, a private upscale gated community, an estate ideal for entertaining, a small bungalow for two or something in between, Bryan county has it all. Retirees and professionals often migrate toward the planned communities or condos where they can enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle. For those wanting space and large tracts of land, you’ll be drawn to the upper end of the county. Richmond Hill and Bryan County has experienced an active real estate market for the past several years with a real appreciation in residential markets. In 2006, Bryan County received high marks in the national housing market by Dr. Danielle Babb, a real estate investor, who announced on Fox News that she ranked Bryan County #3 in the nation for the housing market. The commercial market also continues to lure new businesses and industries that usually follow rooftops. Through careful planning, Bryan County’s growth continues with efforts to preserve the area’s beauty and natural resources.

Hundreds of homes are planned for residential communities, offering everything from “walk to school” locations, pool/ tennis complexes, to deepwater dock facilities. Pricing for these new homes in the Richmond Hill area average about $175,000. You can expect to get three to four bedrooms, two or three bathrooms, and other usual amenities, including an attached two-car garage. SENIOR LIVING

Senior adults enjoy not only the warmth of the year-round climate and coastal living atmosphere, but also special facilities and services directed towards their specific needs. From Magnolia Manor, a vibrant retirement complex with lovely apartment homes and an extensive schedule of planned social activities, to Senior Citizen Centers in both Richmond Hill and Pembroke that offer comprehensive programs, meals and trips, senior adults will find the slower pace yet active lifestyle of Bryan County to their liking.

Government R SERVICES

esidents of Bryan County benefit greatly from strong and visionary local government leaders who have proactively planned and implemented critical services throughout the rapid growth of the last decade. A collaborative effort between city and county officials ensures that services and infrastructure guarantee a continued high quality of life for all residents.

A safe and secure community surrounds Bryan County’s family-oriented lifestyle. The sheriff and city police departments proudly maintain one of the lowest crime rates in the Coastal Empire year after year as a result of top-notch law enforcement facilities and state-of-theart equipment. An excellent Fire Department and Emergency Service Provider System offers 24/7 service with two ambulances on each end of the county. On February 1, 2008, Bryan County Emergency Services took delivery of a Mobile Command Vehicle. This vehicle was purchased with Homeland Security Funds with no matching funds required from the county. BlackHawk 1 was designed and built by North American Catastrophe Services (NACS), a company in Florida, which specializes in these types of vehicles. RICHMOND HILL POLICE DEPARTMENT

Since its establishment on October 18, 1877, the Richmond Hill Police Department has grown into a professional organization consisting of 30 sworn officers and eight administrative staff. The department consists of three divisions which include the Uniformed Division, the Criminal Investigations Division and the Services Division. Specialized units consist of training, traffic and K-9. Officers are equipped with the most modern equipment available to law enforcement. Construction of a 10,000-squarefoot police complex was completed in late 1999. All officers are equipped with ballistic vests, portable radios, 40 caliber handguns, new shotguns, laptop computers for reporting, specialized weapons, in-car video cameras and many other items that are necessary to perform their duties. The department also has a state-of-the-art firearms complex and FATS system (firearms simulation). Additionally, the records system is totally computerized. The Richmond Hill Police Department received state certification from the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police in January 2000. Certification acknowledges the implementation of policies and procedures that are conceptually sound and operationally effective. Editorial provided by Chief Billy D. Reynolds Sr.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY

Water and wastewater has been a concern with growth. Richmond Hill is an example of a city with a growing population and a need for additional infrastructure; therefore, in 1995, Richmond Hill prepared for expansion by planning for the construction of the Sterling Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility. Richmond Hill invested six million dollars over 20 years in a state-of-the-art wastewater treatment facility – successfully establishing a regional wastewater treatment program that brings nature back into the treatment process. This overland-based process enables the city to maintain its natural coastal beauty while providing for the expansion capabilities for the City of Richmond Hill. The treatment facility removes harmful pollutants from liquid waste so that it can return to the environment safely. Additionally, the all-natural facility attracts a variety of wildlife and is a popular site for avid bird watchers and wildlife viewing. This 500-acre facility has been designated a wildlife sanctuary by the city council. Richmond Hill’s wastewater treatment facility serves more than nine thousand residents and collects sewage over an area of 10 square miles. The wetlands process an average of 1 million gallons per day, with capacity to treat 1.5 million gallons per day. All this falls under the guidance of the Operations Management International, Inc. (OMI), which is contracted by the city to handle all of the public works for Richmond Hill. Richmond Hill’s innovative approach to wastewater treatment has been beneficial in a variety of ways and was recognized by the Georgia Water and Pollution Control Association with the Public Education Award in July 2004. The constructed wetlands program is excellent because it is low in cost and in maintenance requirements, offers good performance and provides a natural appearance. The constructed wetlands are well-suited in small communities like Richmond Hill.

Healthcare CARING AND PROFESSIONAL

igh-quality healthcare with easy access gives residents peace of mind. Four major regional hospital complexes and one military hospital in Ft. Stewart anchor the health providers in the area, with several clinics and doctors of every major specialty providing comprehensive local service. Regional healthcare centers include Memorial Health University Medical Center, Candler Hospital, St. Joseph’s Hospital and East Georgia Regional Medical Center in Statesboro.

Nature,

RECREATION AND TOURISM

iving along the coast, you are aware of nature’s awesome power and beauty.

The Intracoastal Waterway beckons the spirit as well as the sailor to come explore. The incredible wildlife afoot in the savannahs and marshes of the Georgia coast continually fascinate and captivate. Whether you have your own dock or use one of the marinas or public access areas, and whether it’s a canoe, kayak, powerboat, or seagoing yacht, whether it’s cane pole fishing or deep sea angling, the water sportsman has it all at his doorstep in Bryan County. If staying on dry land yet close to the coast is your delight, you’ll enjoy the myriad of trails and scenic roads that pass through and under centuries-old moss draped live oaks. Whether you are a birdwatcher, avid hiker, horseback rider, canoeist or bicyclist, the planned Coastal Georgia Greenway is eagerly anticipated. It is part of the national trail known as the East Coast Greenway, a continuous route from Maine to Key West, Florida. The Bryan/Richmond Hill section of the greenway will offer local residents points of interest near their homes, as well as attract tourists on longer trips who are looking to experience the rich natural beauty and culture to be found along the East Coast. Richmond Hill’s historic J.F. Gregory Park is a 335-acre multi-use recreational area and is home to the Veterans Monument and

d www.RHBCchamber.org N A T U R E , R E C R E A T I O N A N D T O U R I S M

the Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival (www.goseafoodfestival.com). The park is ideal for picnics, sports activities, canoeing, birding, wildlife viewing, fishing, hiking or a leisurely stroll. Attractions include a 10-acre lake, a 3-mile walking trail, a bird tower, two restored Henry Ford era homes and several event facilities, including the 25,000-square-foot covered pavilion, the outdoor amphitheater, John W. Stevens Wetlands Center and the Richmond Hill City Center (www.richmondhillvisit.com). In Pembroke, Hendrix City Park is where families cook out and children enjoy the playgrounds, basketball hoops and tennis courts. Be sure to visit the Old City Jail, built in 1912. The jail was a one-room brick cube with barred windows and an armored door. The jail remained in operation until the 1950s and now serves as a museum. Southeast Georgia is a golfer’s mecca with several world-class championship courses within easy driving distance. An hour’s drive down the coast is St. Simons Island, Sea Island and Jekyll Island, each with superb courses to challenge the most talented golfer. Augusta, home to The Masters, is a short drive north, while world-class Hilton Head is also just a few minutes to golfing paradise. In the Savannah area, you will find courses such as Southbridge, Willow Peg and Crosswinds, while two fine golf courses are right in Bryan County. Black Creek Golf Course in upper Bryan, with its full-service clubhouse, has been a longtime favorite of South Georgians. Located in the heart of historic Richmond Hill is Sterling Links Golf Club. Created to entertain and challenge the novice and expert alike, the course offers beautiful rolling fairways and champion Bermuda greens.

The entire family will love getting away for a relaxing weekend at the beautiful Fort McAllister State Park and Campground. Just steps away from your campsite, the historic fort, museum and playground along the Ogeechee River provide endless fun for everyone. Many other quality camping facilities are sprinkled throughout the county for easy access by residents and tourists. If you are just visiting, on vacation or here on extended business, you will want to take in the sights of historic Savannah, or drive out to the beach and lighthouse at Tybee Island, both just a half hour away. If you have a few more hours to spare, drive south to Brunswick and the Golden Isles to savor fine seafood restaurants and the irresistible charm of island life.

Art, Culture B AND HERITAGE

ryan County is located conveniently from anywhere on the southeast Georgia coast, making it rich in cultural opportunity.

The cultural diversity of Savannah abounds through organizations and events that gratify all ages and ethnic groups, where a major focus has been the preservation of the South’s native and Colonial culture, as well as Antebellum buildings and structures. Historic downtown Savannah allows us to look through the lens of history to a genteel life that is long gone.

The art community offers the public a chance to interact with artists on many occasions. Amateur theatre and dance companies host dramas and comedies throughout the year, many with open auditions. Museums with extensive collections regularly host major attractions, but feel free to wander through their daily exhibits and enjoy discovering, exploring and learning. Indoors to outdoors, an array of cultural amenities surrounds Bryan County residents. Unique weekend educational and cultural trips include Georgia’s Colonial Coast Birding Trail, Fort McAllister Historic State Park, Fort Pulaski near Tybee Island and Fort Morris where one can experience nearby Seabrook Village, a living history museum. Minutes away in the colonial town of Midway, day-trippers will enjoy visiting the Midway Church (whose members include Dr. Lyman Hall and Button Gwinnett, signers of the Declaration of Independence), the Midway Museum, Sunbury Cemetery and a self-guided tour of Midway Cemetery, which dates back to 1754. While there, be sure you visit The Midway Gallery for art and jewelry made by local artisans. Discover the coastal barrier island history by taking a ferry to Cumberland Island National Seashore. Here you may easily spot the peregrine falcon during fall migration or visit the historic structures and ruins of Plum Orchard Mansion and Dungeness Mansion – and finish with a tour of the Ice House History Museum. Our cultural background often evolves from our spiritual life, and this is especially true in the South. Special gifts to the cultural history of the area are the churches that have been designated national historic landmarks, some still active today. One of the oldest churches in the area is the Old Bryan Neck Presbyterian Church, a small white clapboard structure in the shade of a

massive live oak. Visit the Burnt Church Cemetery and find the graves of the McAllister family who lived in Strathy Hall. To glimpse the storied past of Bryan County, especially the Henry Ford era, stop by the Richmond Hill Historical Society Museum, which is housed in the old Ford kindergarten building. Just as one’s personality reflects a life lived, so does the personality of a community. Bryan County’s personality reflects a life that has been lived to the fullest, and the depth of its cultural offerings and heritage is a wondrous reminder. ANNUAL EVENTS

rowth and expansion characterize business and industry in Bryan County. Savvy businesses view Bryan County’s unrivaled location advantages and pro-business, pro-growth attitude as the key to success in Southeast Georgia, one of the hottest business and residential growth areas in the country. In 2006, Money Magazine named Bryan County as one of the top counties in America for fastest job growth, and it ranked 11th out of 25 counties across the nation in job growth with a listed growth rate of 46.4 percent over a six-year period. The quality of life, economy, availability of desirable space, cost of living and transportation rank high on the list of priorities for most businesses as they contemplate building locations.

Major rail carriers offer cost effective solutions and a complete comprehensive network for transportation of goods and supplies. With two convenient interchanges, Richmond Hill enjoys a prime location just off I-95, as well as easy access to I-16 eight miles to the north.
